got to run a 370Z
So my friends older brother traded in his 08 350Z, for a new 370Z. He's been talking all this **** about how fast his car is, and even on the nitrous I don't stand a chance. At this point, I really don't know how it will stack up so I suggest we run em from a dig first, then a roll. We go to out local spot, and line up. I heat up the Mickey's with a decent burnout and tell him to honk off the three. I get a decent jump off the line because I'm assuming he spun, but I easily got like 3-3.5 lengths and held him to about 2.5-3 by the time we hit 110-120. He said he wants to go from a roll, I agree, and we get side by side at 30-35mph, and again he honks off the three. I spray as soon as I hear the third honk and pull a good 2-2.5 length lead on him almost instantly. By the time we get to about 120, he has crept up to about 1-1.5 lengths behind me. I've heard those 370Zs run low 13s at like 110 mph so I'm pretty happy with the results considering I'm just tinkering with the nitrous until I build my engine. On a side note, I finally swapped over the GT spindles and breaks and they feel much better, it was definatly worth the 2 hours. I'll be posting my mods in my garage so I don't have to keep posting them in every thread.

Well I was just going on what I've heard, I guess that i expected a little much from him. My 89 was trapping a tad under 100 mph, so I guess on the spray I should be good for 109-110 traps as long as the t5 stays together lol.

Ha, creative!
At least 110, imo.

I've been trying to but I've had to work, and when I don't have to work, I'm busy fixing some little hiccup from the swap, and talking to the recruiters have been eating up a lot of my free time. As soon as I get a Wednesday afternoon off of work, I'm going to e-town for a test-n-tune.

I was actually really impressed with how it moved from a roll. I'm sure I could have kept more of a lead if I kept in it hard after 100 mph, I kinda let out a little. I was just happy that I showed his *** with a little juice and a decent suspension set-up my fox would wipe the floor with a lot of cars that wouldn't suspect it. Now all I need is a fresh paint job and I'll be decently happy with it.
